Scope of Services - Consulting Architects of Alberta

3.5
 HOURLY
RATES
In
some
instances
consultants
may
be
called
on
to
provide
services
which
cannot
be
easily
quantified
as
fixed
 fees
 or
 with
 no
 direct
 correlation
 to
 Construction
 Cost.
 Examples
 of
 such
 services
 include
 pre‐
design
 services
 and
 studies;
 re‐design
 services
 to
 suit
 changing
 project
 requirements,
 or
 services
 for
ancillary
project
work.
These
fall
outside
the
scope
of
basic
services
and
thus
fee
calculation
provided
previously.

A
time‐based
fee
is
often
the
best
option
in
this
situation;
fees
are
determined
as
the
sum
of
the
 hourly
 rates
 for
 each
 project
 staff
 member
 multiplied
 by
 the
 time
 staff
 members
 spend
 on
 the
project.
The
 CAA
 and
 CEA
 will
 issue
 annual
 updates
 for
 both
 classifications
 of
 professional
 and
 technical
 staff
along
with
appropriate
rates
for
the
calendar
year.

These
are
available
on
the
respective
websites
of
the
CAA
and
CEA.
